Grow Mediums 1st RDWC grow. led+ Mephisto Sour Hound & Fast Buds Green Crack

[Anasazi]

My only words of advice...move those buckets apart. You're gonna need all the room you can get between those two. Once they take off you'll be in a jungle...but it's worth it [emoji106]
Gonna follow along here and see how you do.

Haha oh yea I definitely planned on moving those girls apart when they get bigger. I only have them like that now so I can get by with only turning on 1 of my leds. Trying to save on the elec bill while it's veg and the extra watts not needed. I have the 1 led going and 2x 25w cfls bulbs directly over the smaller plant that isn't directly under the led. I'm hoping I don't run out of room in this tent tbh lol. I've never had that problem before though and it's one I'd be damn excited to have even if it would suck. ;D

Thanks for stopping by broham! I appreciate it.




I'm going to post a picture update today or tomorrow. The sourhound is bonkers and really making me think my gc was stunted from losing a piece of her root earlier. It's growing and looks healthy but damn if you thought the difference was big before it's just bonkers now.

Update~~~~


Day 23
ppm 840
bucket temp 68*
res temp 66*
Turned on 2nd led.
max room temp 84*

Drained 2 and a half gallons from the res and replaced it with 4 gallons containing 35ml A+B and 20ml calimagic. PPM jumped about 100 or so, hopefully it's not too hot. I figured since they are growing more now the increased feed wouldn't hurt. Also felt I could use some more base nutes in the res since my original mix from 10 days ago was a bit weak. The SH is really stepping on the gas now. She has gained a few inches of height and now she covers the whole top of the bucket. GC is a lot smaller but she has definitely beefed up a bit since the last picture update.

Hopefully things continue to go well. This is literally the best grow i've ever had so far lol. I can't believe how well everything is going, I can't even believe there was a point in time during my coco adventures where I almost quit AN nutes because I didn't know what else was causing my grows to be shit. I'm glad I gave up on coco and not AN because this shit is awesome and so simple. I haven't even hit flower yet and I already feel like all the money I dumped into this new setup was so worth it. Just hope i'm not jinxing myself ;D



Big difference from day 19 pics!




That SH has to be the best looking plant I've ever grown. She is so beautiful lol, I feel bad I gave her that ugly mark by burning her on a cfl while I was trying to read ppm in the buckets. Wanted to see if the res and bucket ppm where the same lol. I'm actually thinking about getting one of those combo meters that you leave in the res 24/7 and it tells you temp/ph/ec. Amazon has some decent ones for about 100$. I sure don't need it but boy would it be nice to have lol. I could mount it on the wall right next to the res......... gawd it's so easy to spend money on grow stuff. QQ

@Anasazi, slow down friend. What I mean is you don't want to jinx your grow lol Most of the time plants are fairly easy to grow in veg, it's when you get into flowering that things always start to get harder. Trust me. You are doing a wonderful job so far and your plants are suuuuuuuper healthy. The GC looks like she may have gotten stunted a little bit, but if she is back to growing whatever caused it is probably taken care of. Again great job but slow your roll and take it easy, don't count your chickens before they hatch as they say.

I am glad that you are liking the DWC though, once you get a whole DWC grow under your belt I am betting you will be a convert for life. All that messy soil and coco with sometimes 30% of the yield is for the birds if you ask me. Some people love it but I am a water man myself lol

Keep up the great work and keep comin with the updates! Oh and a couple of root pics would be sweet, everyone here knows I like the upskirt pics hahahaha

Haha trust me man I managed to have problems in veg almost every time. Every single one of my journals here had problems in veg, it was so depressing. Pretty sure it was mag problems from the coco sucking it dry everytime and me not precharging the coco. For me to make it to day 24 with zero problems is a freaking miracle. I've been stuffing so much calmag into them in fear of calmag problems popping up like they typically do for me. Lol normally I'm not nearly this confident but I'm hoping the girls pick up on my vibes and finally knock it out the park for daddy haha.

Honestly after almost two years of growing and shit harvest after shit harvest I refuse to have a bad outcome this time. I don't care if I have to build a time machine to go back and fix shit. I'm due for a great harvest. It's happening baby!!


I stare at them every night channeling my will onto them, they will obey!

 

[derek420colorado]

Yes as I said you are doing wonderfully so far, just don't get too over confident that is alls I am sayin my friend. I too stare at my plants and literally spend up to 18 hours a day in the grow room watching them grow. I can assure you this, that when you do make it to harvest it will be the sweetest buds you have ever tasted.

Such a long road to harvest lol. My girl and I will be dry in a day or so and I haven't not smoked every day in forever. So sick of buying ounces to get me from 1 harvest to the next. Hopefully I'm able to find something quickly because shit is rough with zero smoke. I wonder if the SH will really be done at day 65. I doubt it but the dream is alive ;D

 

[derek420colorado]

Oh trust me I know the mid harvest blues and not having anything to smoke, it is funny when I first moved to Colorado and did my grow there I literally was only able to smoke maybe once a week if I was lucky. It can be tough but you will be smoking in no time. Honestly if it gets too bad you can always clip some of the lower branches once they get into flower
